JoJo, 22, has spent more of their time together on social media after making the admission earlier this week that her relationship with Love Island star Chris Hughes, 32, is no longer “platonic.”

Singer JoJo Siwa has shared a series of clips of her time in London over the last week, as her relationship with Love Island star Chris Hughes has continued to intensify. The couple, who appeared to fall for each other on Celebrity Big Brother, while JoJo was in a relationship, have spent lots of quality time together as JoJo joined her former co-star in the UK.

Chris, 32, is heavily featured in the reality TV series The Dance Moms, and the 22-year-old has taken photos of her trip to London on TikTok. What a week and What a camera roll was the caption to her most recent upload. Next up is a mini vlog.

As well as her tour, she has been hosting her Afternoon Tea Party, which saw her fans join her on a double-decker bus as she made her way around London. Adorned with sweet treats and sandwiches from “afternoon tea specialists” Brigit’s Bakery, the bus took JoJo and her fans through the capital as they chatted and laughed.

Her video contained clips of her and Chris, including one of them kissing her on the head, having hysterics over his comedic glasses, and enjoying a coffee with a stroll through the park. She admitted after months of rumors that she and Chris are an item in an interview with Capital radio that was captured in a clip.

JoJo stated to Capital Buzz on June 2 that, “I’m in a lovely relationship with a sweet boy named Christopher Hughes. She has also been forced to refute claims that Chris and her relationship are publicity stunts.

JoJo told The Guardian at the start of the week: “It’s not platonic anymore, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way.”

When questioned about PR suggestions, she responded, “Of course, you’ve never been around us. Although I won’t ever advocate for him, I can tell you that I’m just happy right now. She continued, “Literally yesterday, I was massaging my cheeks; I’ve never felt pain from smiling so much.”

This Morning’s Ben Shephard also brought the topic up with reality star Chris Hughes, who was left blushing live on air on Tuesday (June 3) when he congratulated him on his romance with JoJo. Chris shared a now-deleted photo showing the couple cuddling in bed together.

He kissed her on the head while she lay on his chest, with Chris captioning the post: “Sleeping beauty.” Speaking live on This Morning, Ben asked Chris: “Can we just say, because obviously we’re all talking about, congratulations on the relationship.

We’re all very excited, they say. Have we chosen whether or not it is Hughes-wa? What is the name of the power couple? They call it CoJo, Chris replied, “Growny.” They are all pursuing that particular goal. It works, Chris-JoJo. Doesn’t it roll off the tongue, then? I appreciate it, guys.

Meanwhile, JoJo gushed about what lured her to Chris on the Rosebud podcast with Gyles Brandreth, saying, “When he first walked in, he was the only person I knew what they looked like before coming on the show.

“Oh, that’s the Chris guy,” I thought. I initially assumed he was a good hugger, but I soon learned that. His hug was nice to me. That resembled a warm embrace. And he smelled good.

And now JoJo admits to considering a life with Chris for the long term and even wants to get a tattoo to honor their relationship. She continued, “I want Chris to last a lifetime,” adding, “I want to get this bamboo stick and two other tattoos from the Big Brother house of memories that I have there.”

Mark Wright and his wife Michelle Keegan took their first daughter Palma’s first flight in Spain with her husband, Michelle Keegan.

Mark Wright shared a parenting flight hack he and his wife Michelle Keegan executed after being warned about how “scary” flying with an infant could be.

The celebrity couple became parents in March and in recent days they took baby girl Palma on her first ever family holiday abroad. And despite being anxious, travelling with the tot went smoothly.

The Only Way is Essex star Mark, 38, returned from his trip to Spain for his Heart FM radio show with Olly Murs.

He mentioned his happy return and said, “I just got back from Spain. It was lovely, sort of tapas. She was fantastic on Palma’s first trip.

He described the experience as “amazing” and explained how he and actress Michelle, 38, navigated the plane.

You warned me about how terrifying it might be with a new child on a flight, so we came up with a great plan on the flight, he said earlier this morning.

She slept in the middle of the two-and-a-half hour flight, which we just made sure we did for her. “She slept during the middle, it was beautiful.

Olly responded, “Mate, that’s exactly the plan we tried to make for Miami, but we realized the flight is ten hours long!”

It didn’t work, Mark said while laughing.

Olly described being “mad four or five weeks where” there has been so much happening to me while he was in Miami writing more songs.

He also mentioned that after his voice started to sway, he had to pull the plug on a Glasgow performance.

He mentioned an unfortunate incident from last month on his radio show, saying, “Obviously, I got ill in Glasgow and had to cancel some shows. That’s unfortunate because I’m not that kind of artist.”

Michelle meanwhile, who has 7.5 million followers on Instagram, shared pictures of the family holiday to the Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort Hotel.

She wrote, “Princess P’s first family holiday,” in a post.

She had a baby in March, according to one person, and she already appears so thin. “? How?! “?

Another person expressed admiration for her 37 pregnancy. She can enjoy it right away. She didn’t feel any pressure, so I’m glad you showed her that there was no rush.

Thirdly, “The first holiday is always full of such fond memories, and it is also the most frightful.” You appear to have “smashed it”

Best men’s fragrances for Father’s Day 2025

Dolce&Gabbana Devotion For Men Eau de Parfum

Currently from £66.40 for 50ml from Debenhams (usual price £83)

The fashion house goes well and truly back to its Mediterranean roots with this sultry scent. Inspired by the Sicilian tradition of adding a twist of lemon to your daily espresso as you sit in a sunlit town square watching the world go by, it balances rich and spicy coffee notes with zesty citruses and earthy patchouli.

Davidoff Cool Elixir Parfum

Currently from £33.60 for 30ml from Debenhams (usual price £42)

An intense new twist on a classic, this parfum gives Davidoff’s trademark oceanic notes a decidedly more exotic spin with notes of lavandin and rose oxide, plus a rich oud base. Don’t let these floral-sounding ingredients confuse you; this is a take on the ‘fougère’ fragrance family, traditionally men’s scents, and one that’s full of character.

Hugo Boss BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense for Men

Currently £63.07 for 50ml from Sephora (usual price £77)

The BOSS Bottled perfumes are great failsafe options if you’re not sure of your recipient’s exact olfactory tastes and, as its name suggests, this one is the strongest and most long-lasting of the lot, with the highest concentration of its key notes of leather, incense, patchouli and cedarwood. Rich and warm yet with universal appeal, it’s guaranteed to delight.

VIVO by Cerruti 1881 Eau de Parfum

Currently from £51.20 for 60ml from Debenhams (usual price £64)

This bottle from Parisian fashion house Cerruti 1881 looks like something from the Da Vinci Code, and you even need to complete a little puzzle to open it (the ‘V’ needs to be lined up with the ‘1881’ to open the lid). Meaning ‘alive’, inside you’re rewarded with an energetic and youthful scent, with hints of ginger, apple, sesame and saffron.

MESSI Eau De Parfum

From £44 for 100ml from The Fragrance Shop

Want to know what, arguably, the greatest footballer of all time smells like? Apparently it’s a combination of fresh cardamom, wild cypress, leather (leather football boots, perhaps…?) and vanilla bean, if the soccer superstar’s new fragrance is any indication. Like the great man himself, it’s subtle and understated, a great gym bag option or everyday spritz.

Barbour Coastal For Him Intense Eau De Parfum

From £72 for 100ml from The Fragrance Shop

Barbour’s classic country gent has taken a bracing walk along the blustery British coastline – the rugged Northumberland coast, to be specific – to inspire this fragrance, with refreshing notes of bergamot, pink pepper and clary sage to blow away the cobwebs, combined with sea-sprayed marine accords, washed up sandalwood and a comforting warmth from tonka.

Rabanne Million Gold Elixir Eau De Parfum

From £85 for 50ml from Boots

Shopping for a dad with expensive tastes? An actual gold bar might be out of the question, but this new Rabanne EDP is the olfactory equivalent. Sensual, confident and opulent, it’s centred around vanilla – an unusual find in men’s scents – which gives it a warm decadence. Combined with zingy bergamot and spicy cardamom, it’s a confidence boost with every spritz.

Issey Mayake L’Eau d’Issey Pour Homme Eau de Parfum

Currently from £51.20 for 40ml from Debenhams (usual price £64)

No one does aquatic fragrances quite as well as Issey Mayake, and this newest, intense iteration is inspired by the mysterious ocean depths. Sichuan pepper wakes up your senses upon first sniff like a splash of water to the face, complemented by invigorating notes of lemon and balsam fir, and a base of cedarwood. It’s elegant freshness in a bottle.

Calvin Klein Man Eau de Toilette

Currently £28 for 100ml from Boots (usual price £70)

At under £30 and less than half its usual RRP, this is an absolute bargain, with shoppers describing it as having a ‘nice classy smell, not too overpowering, good for any occasion’ and calling it a “lovely aftershave. I bought it based on the description and ingredient notes and it was very accurate. Great value sale purchase.”

Dior Sauvage Elixir

From £143 for 60ml from Dior

Dior Sauvage is a pretty iconic men’s cologne and is one of those you can recognise instantly. With fresh bergamot and warm, woody notes, it’s confident without being overpowering, ideal for dads who like to smell good (and know it). Out of all of its versions, Elixir is our favourite.

Giorgio Armani Code Eau de Toilette

Currently £43.50 for 75ml from Boots (usual price £87)

Another Boots bargain, this classic woody, citrusy Armani scent is currently half price, and has almost 700 five-star reviews on the beauty retailer’s website. “A note for you single guys…this is a lady magnet!” one cheeky reviewer wrote. “I get tons of compliments from the opposite sex, even when my wife is with me.”

Former Love Island star Maura Higgins previously co-hosted Aftersun in the United States, but she won’t be back for another year.

On Love Island USA, Maura Higgins has been replaced with a brand-new host.

The Irish actress, who gained national fame on the show herself, was previously employed as the host of US Aftersun, but it has been reported that she will not be making a comeback.

Maura was also the social media host of the show as well but it’s been said that she won’t be back as a result of conflicting schedules. She will be relaced by Sophie Monk who is already familiar with how Love Island works due to being the host of the Australian version.

However, Maura hasn’t been fired and instead concentrates on other projects. Some fans believe she might return to host Aftersun for the second season of the popular Fiji film Love Island Games.

The Sun reported that a source said: “She wasn’t able to commit to hosting Aftersun this season due to other work commitments, but she will be back on screen in some capacity later in the run.” The news was shared via the Love Island Instagram account.

The caption reads “Welcome Sophie Monk to the Aftersun family” along with a photo! You guys have no idea how much I’m dying over this, said main host Ariana Madix.

Fans of the show, however, were quick to realize Maura wouldn’t be coming back. One viewer remarked, “Oh no! What occurred”? !

But another then said she is taking part in the next series of The Traitors instead, writing: “She’s going to be on traitors. She’s back for love island games.”

This comes after Maura was accused of kissing McFly star Danny Jones at the BRIT Awards. After a party at the five-star Nobu Hotel in London, the couple were captured kissing at an afterparty.

Danny went on to address the situation in a grovelling apology shared on social media when his wife temporarily moved out of the family home to spend time with her friends and “get away”. In a statement, the singer said: “Hello everyone, sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me.

My wife and family have been in this situation, so I sincerely apologize. We’ll continue to deal with this in private because I adore them so much. I appreciate you all’s patience, understanding, and support. Danny, I’ll see you soon.

The Mirror have contacted Maura’s reps for comment.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s alleged future plans for their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet have been questioned by royal expert Jennie Bond.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may no longer be working royals or carry out duties for the King. But the couple reportedly don’t want to rule out their children opting to support the monarchy, despite their bombshell move to quit their royal roles.

Insiders close to the Sussexes have said they want Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet to retain their titles and HRH styles so they can choose to become working royals if they so wish when they are adults. It came after the source spoke out and claimed the Sussexes feared passports for their children were being held up due to the use of their royal titles.

The couple are said to have been left exasperated as they waited months for British passports to arrive and reportedly believed it was due to the fact they included their children’s royal titles on the application. But former BBC royal expert Jennie Bond has questioned why Harry and Meghan appear so keen to cling onto titles for their children – even though they have previously railed against the institution of monarchy.

She told the Mirror : “I really don’t understand why, having extricated themselves from a life they did not enjoy and in which Harry has publicly spoken of ‘feeling trapped’, they want to give their children the option of re-joining. It makes no sense.

“Who knows what’s going to happen in the future? But it’s very hard to see how two children who are clearly now more American than British would want to change their whole way of life and become working members of the royal family.”

Archie and Lilibet got prince and princess titles when their grandfather King Charles became monarch in 2022. The first time their titles were formally announced was after Lilibet’s christening in March 2023.

Due to the reported hold-up in their British passports, it is said that Harry started to explore the possibility of changing his family surname to Spencer in a nod to his late mother, Princess Diana.

And Jennie continued, “I believe Harry has always been more Spencer than Windsor, so it would be Spencer if he wanted to change his name.”

“But this would be the culmination of his relationship with his brother and father,” he said. He would make the declaration in front of the entire royal family, which would be in public.

Since the Sussexes dumped their royal roles five years ago, there has been ongoing controversy over their HRH titles. Meghan and the Duke of Sussex agreed to end using “Her Royal Highness” and “His Royal Highness” at the end of March 2020 as part of their Megxit negotiations with the Palace. Harry has had his since birth, but they are essentially held in abeyance, despite the fact that they still have the styles.

However, earlier this year, it became clear Meghan had used her HRH style on a monogrammed card that was sent to make-up artist Jamie Kern Lima. It read, “With Compliments of HRH The Duchess of Sussex.”

In the footage from her podcast interview with Meghan, Kern Lima showed a picture of the present. Meghan’s jam was in a jar as part of her As Ever lifestyle business, which she has started selling.

The basket was referred to as a “personal gift,” according to a source. The couple’s representatives denied using them, but a source later revealed that the Sussexes did not use HRH in public but did so in a manner that was both respectful and commercial.
